Not all terrorists are Muslims, Terrorists All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 94% that Aren’t Posted on 20 January 2010 by Danios CNN recently published an article entitled Study: Threat of Muslim-American terrorism in U.S. exaggerated; according to a study released by Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, “the terrorist threat posed by radicalized Muslim-Americans has been exaggerated.” Yet, Americans continue to live in mortal fear of radical Islam, a fear propagated and inflamed by right wing Islamophobes. If one follows the cable news networks, it seems as if all terrorists are Muslims. It has even become axiomatic in some circles to chant: “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but nearly all terrorists are Muslims.” Muslims and their “leftist dhimmi allies” respond feebly, mentioning Waco as the…

Muslims the focus of misplaced fearsMuslims the focus of misplaced fearsRACHEL WOODLOCKFebruary 20, 2010There is no hidden agenda for sharia law; Western society is not under threat."F--- Off We're Full'' is one of the more odious Facebook groups in which members regularly bemoan Muslim immigration to Australia. It is currently in its sixth incarnation, having been taken offline and then replaced by other similarly named groups. Still, the viral meme lives on. Jade encourages people to join a petition to ''send asylum boat people home''; Faye makes a joke offering ''Muslims, Lebs an Indians'' free bungee jumps with ''no strings attached''; and Kris wonders why wherever Islam is, ''evil follows''.The sentiment "don't come here if you don't like our way of life" means nothing when you consider that, at last…

Islamic Mortgages and Why They’re Not Just for Muslims June 10th, 2010 HIP-Consultant.co.uk Posted in Legal, Property Conveyancing | 1 Comment » Islamic Mortgages and not just for Muslims which may come as a suprise for some. However, an Islamic mortgage does have its differences. What is an Islamic Mortgage? According to Islam, making money from money is “usury” and is not permitted.

Buying outright with cash will not be an option open to the vast majority and a traditional interest based mortgage loan cannot be obtained with compromising his religious beliefs. Islamic mortgages (also called Shariah or…
